Early life[edit]
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Kweli grew up in a household in Park Slope. His mother, Brenda Greene, is an English professor at Medgar Evers College of the City University of New York, and his father is an administrator at Adelphi University. His younger brother, Jamal Greene, is a professor of constitutional law at Columbia Law School, a graduate of Yale Law School, and former clerk to Justice John Paul Stevens on the Supreme Court.[2] As a youth, he was drawn to Afrocentric rappers, such as De La Soul and other members of the Native Tongues Posse whom he had met in high school. Kweli was a student at Cheshire Academy, a boarding school in Connecticut. He was previously a student at Brooklyn Technical High School before being academically dismissed. He later studied experimental theater at New York University.[3]
Music career[edit]

Rawkus Records Collaborative Projects (1998–2000)[edit]
Shortly afterwards, upon returning to New York, he reconnected with Mos Def and formed Black Star.[citation needed] Kweli brought along Hi-Tek to produce their only album, 1998's Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star.[4] The album, released amidst a late '90s renaissance of conscious, Afrocentric hip hop, was hailed by critics and achieved modest mainstream success.[5] Kweli and Hi-Tek continued their Reflection Eternal partnership on the 2000 album Train of Thought, which was likewise met with critical acclaim, but modest sales.[citation needed] The album was recorded at Electric Lady Studios.[citation needed]
Hip Hop For Respect (2000)[edit]
An EP, Hip Hop for Respect, was organized by Mos Def and Kweli to speak out against police brutality, specifically, the case of Amadou Diallo.[6] The project released one EP for Rawkus Entertainment.[6] On February 4, 1999, Amadou Diallo was shot 41 times by four police officers while reaching into his pocket for his wallet. Diallo was unarmed. The project aimed to assemble 41 emcees to represent the 41 shots fired. Rappers featured on the EP include Owen Brown, Evil Dee, Kool G.

Black Star collaborated with fellow artists John Patton and Ron Carter to record 'Money Jungle'. In 2002, Kweli contributed to the critically acclaimed Red Hot + Riot, a compilation CD created by the Red Hot Organization in tribute to the music and work of Nigerian musician Fela Kuti.[8] He collaborated with fellow hip hop artists Dead Prez, Jorge Ben, and Bilal to remake the Fela Kuti song 'Shuffering and Shmiling', for the album.
Rawkus Records solo albums (2001–2006)[edit]
In 2002, Kweli released his first solo album, which was a move toward a more mainstream sound. Quality featured production from a variety of producers, including DJ Quik and Kanye West.[citation needed] Additionally, Dave Chappelle appeared on Quality.[citation needed] The album was met with widespread critical acclaim and received some mainstream attention thanks to the West-produced single 'Get By' which peaked at No. 77 on the Billboard Hot 100.[9]Quality peaked at No. 21 on the US Billboard 200 and at No. 6 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart.

His third and final appearance on the show aired one year later on April 7, 2004.
In the summer of 2004, Kweli Kweli, along with Bob Moore's Amazing Mongrels, supported the Beastie Boys on their 'Challah at Your Boy World Tour'. That same summer, appeared on a Dilated Peoples song called 'Live on Stage'. A live remix was later featured on the video game NBA Street Vol. 2.

In November 2004, he released his second solo album and final Rawkus release, The Beautiful Struggle, which debuted at No. 14 in the Billboard Hot 100.[9] Kweli responded to Jay-Z's 2003 song 'Moment of Clarity' in which Jay-Z rapped: 'If skills sold, truth be told/I'd probably be, lyrically, Talib Kweli',[10] in his own track, 'Ghetto Show' by stating 'If lyrics sold then truth be told/I'd probably be just as rich and famous as Jay-Z.' Despite this nod, the album featured much more commercial production, including efforts from The Neptunes, Kanye West and Just Blaze.[citation needed]
Trippin is a 2005 MTV environmental documentary television series hosted by Cameron Diaz. On the show, said celebrities visit various ecological locales around the world, in particular underprivileged areas of the world.

The four of them had taken a trip to Tanzania to visit one of the world's largest and most thriving ecosystems left on the planet, the Serengeti Plain. There, they had gone into the depths of the Serengeti Plain with a few local zoologists at the time.
BlackSmith Records (2005–2009)[edit]
In 2005, Kweli released a mixtape-CD off of his newly formed Blacksmith Records. The project was called Right About Now: The Official Sucka Free Mix CD, a title which is considered a response to the criticism of The Beautiful Struggle.[11] The musical offering was generally considered to be a mixtape. Some people regard Right About Now as an album because of its availability through commercial sites and its release of two singles. Right About Now also lacks the DJ overlays often accompanied by mixtapes which makes the CD read more like an album. The album sold 16,000 copies in its first week of release, debuting at No. 113 on the Billboard 200.[12] Sparking some controversy, on Right About Now Kweli sampled Ben Kweller's 'In Other Words' for his own song 'Ms. Hill'. In part seven of Kweller's video podcast series 'One Minute Pop Song', Kweller said he found Kweli's use of the song 'a little fucked up' due to the fact that it was sampled without permission.[13] In a similar incident, Kweli reacted with outrage on Twitter when a verse from 'Fly Away' was sampled in Peter Andre's track of the same name. Kweli stated, 'I protect the integrity of my music like a grizzly protects cubs. Woe to those who actively stand in the way of that.'[14] Kweli has not publicly addressed his unauthorized use of Kweller's 'In Other Words'.
In 2006, Kweli signed a distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records for Blacksmith Records.[15] Warner Brothers launched an online community via Second Life for Kweli.[16] In January, Kweli was featured in a commercial for the NCAA's Big Ten Conference, rapping about the league's basketball teams.[17] In February 2006, Kweli provided the voice of the protagonist in the graffiti-themed video game Marc Eckō's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure.[18] In October 2006, Kweli performed on MTV's Wild 'N Out, hosted by Nick Cannon.[19]

Records in December 2008. Kweli confirmed to AllHipHop.com that Warner Bros. would still distribute Reflection Eternal and Kweli projects, but not other acts on the Blacksmith label.[15][33][34] Kweli was featured at the fifth installment of Hot 97 radio personality Peter Rosenberg's acclaimed live interview series 'Noisemakers with Peter Rosenberg' on October 21, 2009.[35] Kweli recorded a mixtape entitled Party Robot with singer Res and musician Graph Nobel under the group alias Idle Warship.[36] The mixtape was released as a free download on the website for Kweli's label Blacksmith with two different cover art options in late 2009.[37] There were videos shot for two of the songs from the album: 'Bedroom Lights' and 'Black Snake Moan'.[38][39]

In 2011, Kweli was featured on the soundtrack for the film Beat the World with the song 'Infinite Love'.[47]

Politics and activism[edit]
Views[edit]
Kweli is known for his strong political views and activism, including on the topics of racial stereotypes and police brutality. Kweli has stated that he would focus on the prison–industrial complex if money was not a problem.[60]
He is an advocate on behalf of political prisoners and a supporter of community organizations like the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement. He has spoken often to inner-city high schoolers and college students.[61]
Kweli urged people to ask hip-hop artists questions in order to engage them politically, but warned not to get frustrated if artists do not 'give you what you want' in their replies. He said that music artists bear an unfair burden to use their music as a platform because they have the ability to influence more people. Kweli mentions that artists, just like their audience, fall victim to their upbringing.[62] In 2017, rapper Remedy and Kweli feuded on Twitter regarding Remedy's pro-Israel political stance, which conflicts with Kweli's criticism of what he views as Israel's occupation of Palestine, and his criticism of Zionism.[63]
In an interview with The Huffington Post, Kweli stated that young people are the only people that can make a difference because they have the energy to actually go out to the public and do something. However, he stated his belief that activism cannot be done by just sitting at a computer.[64]
Activism[edit]
Along with Mos Def, Kweli organized the Hip Hop for Respect CD and video in 2000, which spoke out against police brutality and specifically about the death of Amadou Diallo at the hands of New York City police. Profits from the CD were given to the Hip Hop For Respect Foundation, a nonprofit organization that encouraged celebrities to become involved with their fans. The Hip Hop For Respect contained 41 different artists for each shot that the police took at Diallo.[65]
In May 2005, Kweli and Mos Def gathered with supporters at City Hall to demand that the federal government drop the million dollar bounty that was placed on political activist Assata Shakur's head and remove her from the terrorist watch list.[66]
